Du gamla, Du fria is the de facto national anthem of Sweden. It was originally named Sång till Norden.

How to play it on guitar :

Original verses by Richard Dybeck:
1
Du gamla, Du fria, Du fjällhöga nord
Du tysta, Du glädjerika sköna!
Jag hälsar Dig, vänaste land uppå jord,
/: Din sol, Din himmel, Dina ängder gröna.:/
2
Du tronar på minnen från fornstora dar,
då ärat Ditt namn flög över jorden.
Jag vet att Du är och Du blir vad Du var.
/: Ja, jag vill leva jag vill dö i Norden.:/

Literal translation
1
Thou ancient, thou free and mountainous North
Thou quiet and joyful beauty!
I greet Thee, most beautiful land upon earth,
/:Thy sun, Thy sky and meadows green.:/
2
Thou rest upon memories of great olden days,
When honored Thy name flew across the world,
I know that thou art and will be as thou were,
/: Yes, I want to live I want to die in the North :/

Great stuff, ShuBun, thank you. I love the line: Ja, jag vill leva jag vill dö i Norden. That's beautiful.

@matthewvaughan : Hey Matthew, thanks for your nice comments..Yes, I think the last sentence has a great meaning for the residents of Sweden : "Yes, I want to live I want to die in the North"...
